The Electric Western Traveling Revue!

The Whiskey Gentry

Paste Magazine was dead-on when they called The Whiskey Gentry a "toe-tapping, steamrolling kind of band, its fingers picking deep into fields of bluegrass, feet stomping
in line with a punk-inspired kick drum." Formed in 2009 by husband and wife duo Lauren Staley and Jason Morrow, The Whiskey Gentry is a group of seasoned veterans—to put
things mildly, some of the finest pickers and musicians the Southeast has to offer. A recent finalist in the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition held at MerleFest, Staley's
natural gifts with words and her powerful lead vocal abilities complement the band's edgy interpretation of an otherwise traditional sound. All of this, coupled with a commanding and high-energy live performance, sets the bar for the way today's country music ought to sound—honest, tight, daring, and void of pretension.

Sounds like Ryan Adams meets the Dixie Chicks meets Old Crow Medicine Show

Jacob Jones

Jacob Jones was born in Indiana, raised in Georgia, and has lived in Atlanta, New York City, and now Nashville, Tennessee. After studying philosophy and English Literature, Jacob soon dropped out of school and began traveling. It was these travels that led him to begin writing songs in earnest and co – founding Electric Western Records in 2009 in Nashville. His resulting debut Love and War was critically received in the spring of 2009 and his follow up, Bound for Glory, is an even broader American interpretation. Jones plans on touring throughout 2010 both nationally and internationally in support of his latest record, be on the look out for him wherever good Americana music is appreciated. He can be caught both as a solo act or with some of the revolving cast of fiddle, mandolin, banjo, up right bass, piano, and general good timery that follows his tours.
